This stunning photo took the top prize in this year's Nature Photographer of the Year Award. Called "House of Bears," the photo was taken in Kolyuchin Island in Russia where polar bears have been making themselves at home in abandoned buildings.

“Our planet is dying. This exhibition is a way of showing these really powerful images to as many people as possible.”
We spoke to the photographers in the running for Wildlife Photographer Of The Year competition about the stories behind their pictures.

“This situation is really dangerous for both sides.”
@NHM_WPY entrant Dmitry Kokh describes the “catastrophic” impact of climate change after discovering polar bears at an abandoned weather station. #WPY58
“Ding dong. Can I interest you in a new book written about Jesus?” @bookofmormonuk#ElderPolar
In seriousness, fantastic photo by @DmitryKokh and rightly highly commended in Wildlife Photographer of the Year
Mother bear with three cubs roaming across the ice next to the North Pole is quite a rare encounter, and I was so lucky to photograph it. I still have those bears in front of my eyes when I go to sleep...
A stunningly beautiful photo essay by @DmitryKokh documenting his mission to photograph the Baikal seal (known locally as nerpa) underwater, in its natural environment.
